Thermal Computations for Electronics

Description:

"This book covers mathematical calculation, prediction, and application methods for conductive, radiative, and convective heat transfer in electronic equipment. It provides complete mathematical derivations, supplements formulae with design plots, and offers exercise solutions and lecture aids including PDFs and downloadable Mathcad worksheets. The author covers topics such as methods for multi-surface radiation exchange, conductive heat transfer in electronics, and finite element theory with a variational calculus method explained for heat conduction. Offering mathematical descriptions of large thermal network problem formulation, he discusses theory of comprehensive thermal spreading resistance, and includes steady-state and time-dependent problems"-- "This book covers mathematical calculation, prediction, and application methods for conductive, radiative, and convective heat transfer in electronic equipment.
